Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for techniques for downlink (DL) scheduling and uplink (UL) scheduling in a shared radio frequency (RF) spectrum band. In some aspects, a wireless communication device may receive an UL data transmission grant associated with a channel of shared RF spectrum band. The wireless communication device may perform a channel readiness procedure associated with the channel. The wireless communication device may also transmit channel readiness information based at least in part on the channel readiness procedure to a base station. The channel readiness information may be transmitted via an uplink channel of a licensed RF spectrum band different from the shared RF band. In other aspects, a base station may schedule a data transmission on one or more channels of a shared RF spectrum band. The base station may transmit a data transmission grant for the scheduled data transmission to a wireless communication device.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for detecting dedicated short range communications (DSRC) transmissions to determine whether to use at least a portion of the DSRC spectrum. In one embodiment, a multi-mode device may be operated outside of the DSRC spectrum using a first clock rate, and may then be switched to a second clock rate while operating outside of the DSRC spectrum to detect DSRC transmissions using the DSRC spectrum.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed that may determine phase offsets in wireless devices. In accordance with some embodiments, a phase of a local oscillator signal associated with transmission of data from a wireless device may be measured by generating a reference signal having a frequency that is a selected integer value times a frequency of a baseband clock signal, generating the local oscillator (LO) signal to have a frequency substantially equal to a carrier frequency of the data transmission, and mixing the reference signal and the LO signal to generate a mixed signal indicative of the phase of the LO signal.

An apparatus includes an object detector configured to receive image data of a scene viewed from the apparatus and including an object. The image data is associated with multiple scale space representations of the scene. The object detector is configured to detect the object responsive to location data and a first scale space representation of the multiple scale space representations.
Abstract:
A peak angular velocity time, at which a peak value of an angular velocity around a vertical axis of a vehicle occurs while the vehicle is turning, may be determined. A peak lateral acceleration time, at which a peak value of linear acceleration along a lateral axis occurs while the vehicle is turning, also may be determined. The peak angular velocity time and the peak lateral acceleration time may be determined according to input from inertial sensors of a mobile device. The lateral axis may be perpendicular to the vertical axis and perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle. A first time difference between the peak angular velocity time and the peak lateral acceleration time may be calculated. Based at least in part on the time difference, it may be determined whether the mobile device is in a front area of the vehicle.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for storing and deleting received data packets over combined vehicular and wireless communications networks. In one example, an apparatus in a vehicular communication network may receive a data packet and may determine whether to store or delete the received data packet based on a ratio of distances between the data packet and its destination address as well as the data packet's source address and its destination address.
Abstract:
Various methods and apparatus are directed to collision detection and/or avoidance regarding peer to peer connection identifiers. A wireless communications device broadcasts a signal indicating its acquired connection identifier in one of two alternative blocks. A base station monitors peer to peer signaling in its coverage area and tracks the usage of peer to peer connection identifiers by pairs of devices. The base station detects when multiple pairs of devices are using the same peer to peer connection identifier. The base station provides assistance to the peer to peer network to avoid a collision or facilitate rapid collision detection by the peer to peer devices. In one approach the base station sends an instruction for a connection to switch its connection identifier. In another approach the base station sends a connection a message to bias its selection as to which of the two alternative blocks to use for transmission.
Abstract:
A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus may be a UE. The UE receives pilot signals from a serving base station and at least one interfering base station. The UE determines phase rotations used by the serving base station and the at least one interfering base station for transmitting resource blocks. The UE determines channel feedback based on the received pilots signals and the determined phase rotations for each of the serving base station and the at least one interfering base station. The UE sends the channel feedback to the serving base station. The UE receives data based on the determined phase rotations.

Methods, systems, and devices are described for securing content for delivery via a communications network. The methods, systems and devices may involve coding a plurality of packets using a determined code to generate a coded set of packets. A plurality of packets of the coded set of packets may be hashed to generate a plurality of hashes. The plurality of hashes may be transmitted via the communications network to deliver the secured content.
